Ragtop Plymouth Alabama plates Friday night no one's got a date Spinnin' on the curves temptin' fate Wishin' we were twenty one I look at Billy he looks at me And we burn rubber down route fourteen And pull in beneath the sign that reads

Catfish beer and bait Gatorade and moonpies Next gas twenty five miles Sittin' at the counter Me and Billy Jones Haggard on the Philco dial Watchin' Caroline Don'tcha know she looks fine Stirrin' up the chili pot The world waited at the door Of Uncle Hickory's General Store
